Why a vocabulary quiz beats rereading the list

Vocabulary lists are easy to skim and hard to remember, which is why a ZEP vocabulary quiz usually works better than reading the list again. Answering from memory forces you to pull the meaning out of your head, and that effort is what builds recall.

What does 'ubiquitous' mean?Found everywhere. The Latin root 'ubique' means 'everywhere', which matches the meaning.

Which word is the best synonym for 'candid'? A) secretive B) frank C) cautious D) hastyB) frank. Candid means open and honest in speech, and frank carries the same sense.

What does the root 'verb' in 'verbose' come from?Latin 'verbum', meaning word. Verbose describes using more words than the situation needs.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a vocabulary quiz have?

For one week's word list, 10 to 15 questions usually covers each word in a couple of formats. Retake the quiz a few days later so you test what you remember, not what you just reviewed.

Why are short answer questions useful for vocabulary?

They make you produce the meaning instead of spotting it among choices. That recall step is harder, and it shows whether you can actually use the word.

Can I export the quiz?

PDF and DOCX exports are on the Plus plan, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML exports are on Pro. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan to try it?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off with a school email.
